This site sends me e-mail teaching the bible, was wondering if some could look it over and tell me their thoughts on the teaching.

I would like to stay with good bible teaching sites,if this is not I'm blocking.

Edited: fixed the website link

neicey,

I just briefly visited the site, read a couple of articles and her "gospel" presentation, and it would appear initially that she is at best Arminian and strongly Dispensational. Additionally, I found some of her teaching "fanciful" and even contradictory to the Scriptures, e.g., see here: The Golden Calf. Her teaching isn't anything I would recommend. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

In His Grace,

Jeff, I'm not certain why dispensational would be the accurate term?

The first thought that came to mind was that it was an extreme Messianic Jewish site. There are articles saying we should still celebrate Passover, for instance, as "confirmed covenant cannot be annulled by a future covenant" and "original rites and ceremonies (Ex 12) were commanded forever." It's a perversion of the fact the covenants have continuity. Also, the site's owner said she was influenced by the 700 Club. I would definitely steer clear!

By the way Jeff, where does she even HAVE a Gospel presentation?

For what it's worth, I see MUCH in common between classic Dispensationalism and these Messianic types. They both see Israel as an integral part of God's alleged plan for the ages, etc. But that is neither here nor there, actually. Her "gospel presentation" is found here: The Good News. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/rolleyes2.gif" alt="" />

My first statement was based on my faulty understanding that the Messianic Jews hold that Gentiles should celebrate the Jewish fests and holidays as well. Since that was a faulty assumption, I see where you are coming from now!

Anyway, neicey, no, that is not a good site.

One of the first things I noticed about that site that sent up a red flag, is at the top of the page on the far right.
It said: "Free Prophetic Newsletter
Read daily what Benny Hinn & Others say about your life & world events
www.TheElijahList.com"

If that doesn't send up red flags, nothing will.
In case you don't know who Benny Hinn is, among the many things he has been involved in is the Word of Faith movement. A few years ago he said he renounced their teaching. However, he has continued in the same line of teaching.
He has been exposed as a false prophet on more than one occasion, yet many don't believe it.
At one time I tried to tell a few people about these false prophecies, but they wouldn’t even listen to what I had to say. Their response was “touch not the Lord’s anointed.”

I guess that is the kind of hold people like Benny Hinn have on their followers. They believe that Benny can do no wrong and we shouldn’t even question him.
What a sad state of affairs. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Okay I will block, are there any Jewish sites that are teaching truth, or are they in error mostly

neicey

I'm sure there are good sites by Christians of Jewish ancestry, but I don't know of any right now.

Why are you looking for Jewish sites in particular?

I have heard good things about Jews for Jesus parachurch organization. I'm sure they must have a website.
